1 Europe = 1 Label
A single Water Label for taps,
shower valves and shower heads moves a step closer.
Trade Associations from a number of European countries
representing the tap, shower valves and handsets industry, together with major European manufacturers, have completed the first phase in the development
of a single Water Label for bathroom products.
CEIR, the European Association for the Valve Industry, brought together representatives from France, Spain,
Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and UK, to adapt the BMA's very successful UK Water Efficient
Product Labelling Scheme into an acceptable robust European Water Label Scheme.
Following the goal of the European Commission to consolidate all existing labels into one scheme, CEIR and the BMA forged a positive
partnership which has led to the introduction of the Water Label.
The Scheme is a self-certified tool that will help inform consumers and professionals alike about product water consumption.
The European database, with unique country search facility,
will be supported by consumer information aimed at raising
awareness and can be found at www.europeanwaterlabel.eu
A new suite of graphics
and point of sale material is currently being developed.
The Water Label will be officially launched during the
European Commission Green Week held in Brussels, 22 to 25 May 2012.
